Ah, stamping. My favorite and least favorite form of nail art! Stamping allows you to create such gorgeous manicures but somehow I always end up smudging the design or not waiting long enough for my base to dry, smooshing everything, and completely ruining it! This time, however, I had huge success!!

Joy at Nail Polish Canada recently contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing one of the new Konad plates and even allowed me to choose which one I wanted. How could I say no to an adorable kitty-themed plate, especially when it has a whole-nail paw print pattern?!

I felt that, given the cat theme of the plate I really had no choice in polish for this manicure. It had to be the polish I recently made (for my personal use only as it's not licensed by the creators, I'm sorry!) inspired by Pusheen the Cat!

The moment I saw this plate I was in love with that whole-nail paw print dealie so is it any surprise I immediately began on this mani?

Just look at how cute that is!!

Next up I decided to try the cute little kitty at the bottom of the plate, the one with the heart on its tail. Once again, so much cuteness!

This plate is definitely a genuine Konad and I had no problems at all transferring the image to the stamper and then to my nail. You can probably see that in the pictures above I didn't topcoat my accent nail, and I'm glad I took pics before topcoating. Apparently Essie's Good to Go is not a good topcoat to use if you don't want smearing!

My whole experience with Nail Polish Canada was excellent. Very fast responses to my emails and super fast shipping! Their site has a ton of different products, too, including tons of indie polishes!! NPC even has an entire section with free shipping (no minimum!!) with tons of stamping plates and other nail art supplies. It's a limited time deal though so do your shopping now!
